Boring But True

Just got in from 70 minutes of foot patrol accompanied by Her Royal Beagle-ship, checking all of last year's Whitethroat territories within half a mile or so of Chez Moi! Not a peep, and none at Arcot yesterday either.

Of significant interest to me, and lesser to others no doubt, was a reeling Grasshopper Warbler on Horton Burn just south of Heswall Road; a rural bird in a very urban area.

Edit: Lesser Whitethroat on the track leading between the back of Beaconhill to Arcot, in the hawthorns near the junction with the road leading to the horse farm.
